Yay!!!! I'm soooooo glad to hear you might (will?) adopt from your local animal shelter!!!! All of my fur babies came from the shelter. Ours is having "Feline Frenzy" right now and a cat or kitten can be adopted for $10!! It doesn't help that the animal shelter is just down the road from my house! I stop in and "window shop" once a week!
Congrats on your new machine, it is neat that you were able to find out the previous owner's name.
I don't know about odor eaters. I use the arm and hammer stuff. Another lady on this board said she uses the stuff that people put in horse stalls to control odors. I don't remember the name but it was a huge bag (lasting more than a year) for about $10 at Tractor Supply
